Good morning! In the world of politics, there’s been a little bit of tension and maybe even an unkind word or two. For that reason, I’m going to start things off with Hamilton. One, listening to Hamilton has a knack for making one feel optimistic about our beautiful, great, glorious nation. And two, I submit Daveed Diggs, who plays the Marquis de Lafayette in Act I, and Thomas Jefferson in Act II. The man is joy personified – even his jumpsuit exudes joy. America already is great – and how lucky we are to be alive right now!
- A submarine is not a boat!
- Srsly, Trump has no idea what he’s talking about.
- Seattle is maybe not as enlightened as they think they are when it comes to their majority-female City Council.
- Bibb and Laurens County (oh btw he’s in Act I of Hamilton, too) are where kids have the greatest lead poisoning risk.
- Athens tackles infill housing with overlay districts.
- Atlanta’s blighted properties are handy corpse dumping grounds.
- Macon considers a $38+ million stadium project for a Class A baseball team.
- (Please, Macon, also consider resurrecting the “Macon Whoopee” name.)
- The little streetcar that could. Or maybe couldn’t, not sure, let’s spend $1 million to study on it.
- (I still have a soft spot for the Atlanta streetcar and really would love for it to succeed.)
- They thought they were Canadian but actually their parents were Russian spies.
Carry on with your day! It’s going to be great.
